Frottage artist Max (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ernst

(Other definitions for ernst that I've seen before include "Max -, twentieth century German Surrealist artist" , "Max --, German painter" , "Surrealist; stern (anag.)" , "Max __; Dadaist" , "He painted" .)

I've seen this clue in the LA Times.
